The U.S. Olympic Committee on Saturday pledged to take part in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang after a senior U.S. diplomat cast doubt on her country's participation over safety concerns.
CEO Scott Blackmun told reporters after a board meeting in New York, "We are going to take a team to Pyeongchang unless it's physically impossible or legally impossible to do that." He added, "We are 100 percent committed to our athletes on that."
Blackmun said no Olympic sponsor or athlete has raised safety concerns about traveling to South Korea despite mounting tensions between the U.S. and North Korea. "We are going to be bringing a team and showing up like 100 other nations," he said.
Larry Probst, a member of the USOC's Board of Directors, said safety concerns were raised ahead of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi but the venue proved safe, and added that he expects the same for Pyeongchang.
Meanwhile, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach met with North Korea's Olympic Committee chief Kim Il-guk at IOC headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland on Friday.
The IOC said it was a routine meeting after the appointment of the new North Korean chief. But international sports officials said Bach, who is seeking to visit North Korea, may have discussed the possibility of the North's participation in the upcoming winter Olympics with the IOC picking up the tab.

What happens when grave memorials, constructed as a lasting memorial to a loved one, fall into disrepair?
For several years the Purewa Cemetery Trust Board has been conducting a programme of restoration and conservation of grave memorials that have collapsed. It's a gradual task, but one that is gaining momentum as the Board has stepped up its programme utilising heavy lifting equipment to reset, repair and stabilise headstones.
Sometimes the work is carried out in collaboration with other interested parties. In late 2015, after the state of the memorial for longstanding Auckland Grammar School headmaster James William Tibbs came to light, great-grandson James (Ben) Tibbs and the Auckland Grammar School Old Boys' Association appealed for help in its restoration.
Tibbs was headmaster from 1893 to 1922. After his death in 1924 he was buried at Purewa Cemetery, but over time the memorial had collapsed.
Fundraising began, then the project was picked up by the Purewa Trust Board which underwrote the major part of the cost of restoration.
The project was led by Trustee Murray Ward, a Grammar Old Boy and former Trust Board Chairman. The restoration work was carried out by Auckland monumental masons Jacobsen Memorials. Today the 1.5 metre high Celtic cross, restored lettering and new concreting is a fitting testament to one of Auckland's most distinguished educationalists.
Purewa Cemetery general manager Clifton Thomson says the Trust Board is working to a plan so that when the cemetery reaches full capacity, there will be very minimal maintenance required on monuments and roading in the older historical areas of Purewa.
''The Trust Board's long term programme is aimed at leaving the grave memorials and roads in a well maintained condition. We are using experienced monumental masons for the restoration programme.
''We're gradually working our way through the older parts of the cemetery, reassembling a lot of collapsed or vandalised memorials. Currently we are tackling some of the bigger tasks, using a derrick and block-and-tackle to handle some of the heavy old headstones.
Purewa is a significant heritage site for Aucklanders, and conservation is an important part of our work.'

Monster Up Days
Submitted by Jonathan Wilde on Thu, 2010-07-08 00:26
May 10: 3.8%
Monster up days in the stock market, like today, are signs of a bear market. In the past 3 months, we've had four days of >2.5% gains on the Dow.
May 10: 3.8%
May 27: 2.8%
Jun 10: 2.7%
Jul 07: 2.8%
These events restore just enough confidence periodically to engender a sense of complacency before the next leg down.

Or in this case, two steps upward, three steps down is the plan.

BENEFITING: Madison Area Down Syndrome Society and GiGi's Playhouse - South Central WI
EVENT: Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk
EVENT DATE: Oct 13, 2012
Our awesome, Josh-a-roo, is now 7 years old and going into first grade this year! With the help of MADSS, and other amazing resources around our area, Josh is a happy, energetic, wise little boy. Without the help and resources we have been able to give Josh though, I'm not so sure he would be where he is today. That is why we are asking for your help in raising money for those individuals who have Down syndrome. There are so many possiblities out there for people with Down syndrome, and your contribution helps give them those opportunities. The funds raised, gives those individuals with Down syndrome education, inspiration, and achievement. Please help us in giving them all we can!
Down Syndrome Creed
my face may be different, but my feelings the same.
i laugh and i cry and take pride in my gains.
i was sent here among you to teach and to love
as God in the heavens looks down from above.
to Him i'm no different, His love knows no bounds;
it's those here among you in cities and towns
that judge me to standards that mankind has imparted,
but this family i've chosen will help me get started.
for i'm one of the children, so special and few,
that came here to learn the same lesson as you.
that love is acceptance, it must come from the heart;
we all have the same purpose, though not the same start.
the Lord gave me life to live and embrace,
and i'll do it as you do,
but at my own pace.
Please help us in giving all that you can for those children and adults with Down syndrome. Every donation- large or small- helps. Thank you.
Blessings and love,
Cory, Nicole, Kali, Josh, and Ethan
The Madison Area Down Syndrome Society is reaching out to the entire community in an effort to raise awareness about Down syndrome and the meaningful contributions people with Down syndrome give to our community everyday.
This year's walk is extra special - we have two important announcements about MADSS and two national partnerships we are working on for 2013 and this walk is critical to pulling these off. You read the first announcement here. Please stay tuned for the second, even bigger announcement.
We are making it easier than ever to let all of our participants, volunteers and supporters get involved and help make a difference.
This week we have two active contests that you should get involved with. You can learn more here.

I know there are threads on the TV show in this area, but I wanted to know, who out of those that have watched the show have read the books. All of the people I know that have watched it havent read the books. I tend to be a bit of a hard a*se when it comes to accurancy.
So, how accurate is the show compared to the books? I have looked up the actors playing the characters and they have it pretty well spot on, but I dont like the thought of watching it and seeing they have wrecked the storyline.
Mind you, the author of the books is one of the writers of the show.

It's pretty good actually one season is one book, so it's not all smashed into a 2 hour movie.
I too pick things apart if they are made from a book, drives DH insane. Lol
01-06-2012 21:19 #3
Season 1 is pretty true to the first book but I'd still try and read the books first. There are too many characters that may only have been mentioned in passing in the book, don't even get a mention in the TV series, but are integral to future storylines. It might make keeping the TV series seasons on track difficult in future.
IMO Tyrion is spot on. The actor they have playing him does an excellent job.

I read the books after watching the first season and thought that the show was amazingly true to the books. Might have seen it a bit differently if I'd read the books first, though. I think the show is amazingly well made. The only thing is that the characters are a lot older in the shows, but of course they'd have to be
01-06-2012 21:34 #5
I know for Robb Stark the actor playing him is 26, where in the book he is barely a teen. I have read the first 4 books and found and bought the 5th last night. Hearing so many people talking about it has inspired me to read them all again.
One good friend just adores the guy that plays Tyrion, hearing her talk about him ect it sounds like they couldnt have done much better in casting him. I have to be careful when talking to them about it though because I have read the books, have to make sure I dont give away spoilers lol. Which is hard when alot of where it falls in the storyline is jumbled in my head because it has been a while since I read the books.
I have a friend putting all the eps on my external hardrive for me. Be nice when I see her again and get it back.

I have read all the books and watch the show and I have to say I've very happy with the adaptation. Yes they have aged up the characters. I read an interview with George RR Martin and he said when they were considering the series they had to pick keeping the kids ages down or cutting out the sex. They decided to keep the sex and can't say I'm too dissapointed about tha . There are some differences in story line but I actually enjoy that.
On a whole though, it's very true to the books. As it's been a while since you've read the books I think you would enjoy it all the more.
Have fun

Yeah that too, though I dont blame them for doing that considering some of the stuff that she goes through in the books, that just would not have gone down well in the TV series.

With most of us doing our banking online these days it was just a matter of time before the major banks released apps for their customers on the Android platform.
Not being a customer in either of these banks prevents me from actually testing the app directly however I'm pretty sure they would have to meet industry standards in security before being allowed on to the Android Market.
The bank have said:
This is the first of many releases for our customers and we're already working on more features to enhance your experience. With mobile banking for Android you'll soon be able to:
- Transfer funds between your accounts
- Find your nearest cash machine or local branch
- Top up your pay-as-you-go mobile phone and up to four others
Watch out for upgrades to your mobile banking application.

I don't want you thinking this has anything to do with podiatry, which requires a pre-med degree followed by four years in a doctoral program at an accredited podiatric college. No, Solestry only requires a foot fetish, and twenty minutes on YouTube, to learn (if you play the video at high speed it only takes about twelve).
Experts like myself are able to take one look at a foot and immediately know a great deal about it's owner. I can tell your shoe size, what color socks you prefer, which little piggy went to market, and a host of other intimate details about your life, that most people would not pick up on.
I've gotten so good the police have used my skills on more than one occasion to help solve some of the worlds most infamous crimes. Just last year there was a renowned case involving a thief who would steal the feet off of priceless works of art. The left foot from Michelangelo's Pieta, one of the heals off of Rodin's, The Thinker, the big toe off the Statue of Liberty, would have all been lost to history, had I not applied my unique skills to track them down.
One of the biggest misconception people have is to think you need to be a Psychic or Medium to do a foot reading. On the contrary, being able to see into the mind of some weirdo that wants a stranger to fondle their toes, would actually be a detriment to Solestry. Examining features of the feet such as height of the arch, and number of hairs between the toes, is what provides the foot reader with their information.
Feet serve as a mirror to the sole, showing, on the outside, exactly what is happening on the inside. In her book, "How I Killed My Husband With A Shovel," Francine Underoos, discusses how her husbands feet seemed to change after they were amputated and replaced with those of an Ostrich.
"Looking at that wrinkly grey skin, and those thick black nails made me realise just how unhappy I was with the man I once loved. It was for this reason I killed him....also because he was fucking my sister."
Although I've been successful in my practice (if you call eleven thousand dollars a year, and athlete's foot on your hands, successful), I fear that it may be time to give up my vocation and move on. Not because I don't have the skill to perform my job, or desire to make less money than a kid with a Kool-Aid stand, but because I have recently begun to get disgusted by the sight of feet.
Bunions, corns, fungal infections, have all lost the beauty they once held. Now, when I see a foot, be it that of a stunning model, or one the cops bring me in a baggie, I feel the same revulsion I once reserved for expired sea food, and Stephen Dorff.
I think it began last month when I had a reading with a homeless man looking for advice on weather or not to move out of the fridge box where he currently resided, and into a more spacious trash bin. He was a nice enough man, but when he removed the empty tissue boxes acting as shoes, then unwrapped the slices of peperoni doubling for socks, the sight of his rancid feet caused me to vomit my chicken nuggets all over my autographed picture of Tobey Maguire's mom.
Ever since seeing those rotting stumps of blackened flesh, I've found myself unable to be in the same room with exposed feet. It's gotten so bad I've started showering in mukluk's, and swimming with sneakers.
I went to see a friend of mine who's an Elbow Reader, to see if she could help. Unfortunately, because I lost both my elbows in a wind surfing accident, she could do nothing for me. She did however, recommend I talk to the Bellybutton Reader living in her shed.
I don't mean to sound rude, but bellybutton reading is a bunch of bullshit. Unlike foot, palm, elbow or scrotum reading, bellybutton reading is nothing more then easily debunked pseudoscience. It only gets attention from the press because famous people like the guy who does the used car commercials, and Shirley MacLaine, practice it.
I'm not the type of guy that falls for cheap parlor tricks or silly confidence games, so I only had eight sessions with the bellybutton reader, costing me about eleven hundred dollars. I feel sorry for the people who are unable to see through her vail of deception, and end up spending huge sums of money to listen to her mumble about building a nuclear weapon.
Needless to say, she was of no help. Now I find myself unable to get any meaningful form of employment, because of my complete lack of discernible skills. I have no education, other than a certificate in Croshay Needle Repair. No desire to do the only job I've ever loved. And no way to clean my feet, because the sight of them makes me hurl.
Someone suggested I see a therapist to help me get over my aversion to feet. I don't know a lot about therapy, only that you have to have been molested by an uncle, or beaten by a stepfather for it to work, so I think I'll take a pass.
So, my complete lack of skills coupled with my refusal to work very hard, leaves me with only one choice....I think I'll get into politics.

Biking in P.E
May 16th-June 3rd
Kindergarten and 1st Grade
May 5th, 2016
Dear Kindergarten Parents/Guardians,
This spring, kindergarten and 1st grade will be doing a biking unit during P.E. class. The unit will run from May 16th until June 3rd. We will be using the drop off loop and surrounding areas for this unit. Our goal is to teach bike safety along with biking skills to help scholars become independent riders. The Drop Off Loop will be closed until 2:25 during this time frame. I apologize ahead of time for any parking issues this might cause.
With the money raised from Mr. G's Gymboree, we were able to purchase 20 new bikes from Earl's Bike Shop. Big Thank You to Earl's for giving us an amazing discount on the bikes. Scholars may also bring in their own bikes for the day and park them outside by the bike rack near the entrance to the playground. Helmets will be provided; however your child is welcome to bring in their own helmet and store it in their classroom.
Mr. G needs your help to make biking run as smoothly as possible. If you have some free time in your schedule and are able to volunteer, please email me at the address below. No experience required! 1st Grade has PE 12:05-12:45 and Kindergarten from 1:50-2:30.
Saturday, May 21, 2016 - Join us!
Presented by the Richard Tom Foundation
* Online registration available at www.bikereg.com/rtfoundation
* Kids Under 17 are Free
* Cochran Road will be closed between Cochran's (Ski Area) and Dugway Rd, Saturday May 21st 9:00-11:00am

Beginning in 1938, the town of Sturgis, South Dakota swells each August as thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts descend on the town for a week of motorbike mania called the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
That first event was quite small, eliciting responses from only nine competitors, most of whom were members of the town's Jackpine Gyspises' Motorcycle Club, the organisation which still runs some of the event to this day.
Sturgis, in Meade County, has a population of just over 6,000, but in the first week of August each year its population swells to make it medium size city, with over 445,000 participants attending each August for the past few years, making it one of the best attended motorcycle rallies in the world.
The event is so highly regarded that the Jackpine Gypsies has event been inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame for continuing to organise this great celebration of the motorbike.
Whereas the very first event consisted of just one race, these days there are slightly more entertainments provided to keep the crowds amused.
There are concerts, musicians, breakfasts, stunt riding, pub crawls, street dancing, rodeo, extreme fights and much more. Because the bikes are the true stars of the show there are plenty of daily rides, each with a different theme. They have a night parade down Main Street with bikes lit up with LED lights to create quite a spectacle. During the week of the rally it is almost like organised chaos with bikes and people on the move at all times.
So popular is the motorbike in Sturgis that it even has its own motorcycle museum which occupies an old church and was established in 2001. So popular has the museum become that it has had to move to bigger premises to cater for its expanding collection and multitude of visitors.
The reason that so many people flock to Sturgis, though, is for the competition and the bike displays.
Just about any way to races bikes is represented here, including drag races, track racing, motocross, hill climbs, burn outs, loud pipes contest (bikes like to be noticed), and even tattoo and strongman competitions.
For the displays, owners spend fortunes and copious hours preparing their bikes for show. There are several categories to cater for the different versions of bikes, be they street bikes, choppers, custom built or vintage, all of which are immaculately presented to form a gleaming homage of two-wheeled power houses which so capture the imagination of anyone who loves the freedom to ride these marvellous machines out on the open road.

I was scouring Etsy a couple of months ago for fabrics from India. Being of Indian origin, I knew this would be the easiest country to get stuff from, so I started there.
I found a woman who makes bunting out of fairly traded fabric. I think she, like me, found it hard to get actual textiles from ethical sources, but finding handmade skirts using ethically-sourced fabric is oddly easier. Don't ask me why.
Claire is a remarkably talented woman who makes stunning fabric works for the home, and also sells some of her knitting and crochet work. She was very helpful when I asked about fabrics – she didn't have any scraps lying around, but she could give me bits of the skirt that she was taking fabric from. It turns out that her bunting actually came from a patchwork skirt itself, so we had a little giggle about the circle of life!
The listing for the bunting itself is no longer available but here are some examples of Claire's work:
She created a custom listing for this and it was with me within the week. Check out this beautiful skirt – my favourite part of it is the sheer range of colours available!

I will perform the three Piano Sonatas by Pierre Boulez (1925–2016) this coming Tuesday at the House of Nobility in Helsinki at 7 pm. The concert, Pierre Boulez in memoriam, is a part of the Key Discoveries Piano Festival, which brings to Helsinki such masters of the keyboard as Roland Pöntinen from Sweden and Alexei Lubimov from Russia, and features an excellent line of pianists from Finland including Tuija Hakkila and Risto-Matti Marin.
Following specific instructions by Boulez himself I frame his sonatas this time with a selection of Études by Claude Debussy (1862–1918). When I first met Pierre Boulez in Paris in 2001 to perform the Second Sonata for him, Continue reading

Russian President Vladimir Putin's absence from the public eye this month has spawned a bevy of rumors about what could prevent him from being seen in public. One rumor gaining traction on social media and in Russia arrives via Switzerland tabloid Blink, which is reporting that Putin, 62, is attending the birth of the child of his alleged girlfriend.
The tabloid cites a source from Clinic Saint'Anna, a private clinic that specializes "in gynecology and is popular with wealthy Russians," stating that Putin's girlfriend Alina Kabaeva, 31, flew to the clinic a few days ago for the arrival of their baby.
Ticino News, a newspaper headquartered in the city where the clinic is located, reported the birth occurred last week and Putin stayed with friends. The paper said a spike in Russian cars in the area, the disappearance of Putin, and "his friendship with a gynecologist" at the clinic "confirm" the birth of his child. Another source told Corriere del Ticino that Kabaeva gave birth to a baby girl.
Little is known of Putin's private life. Considering the fact that the majority of media in Russia are state-owned, most journalists do not ask any questions about his life behind closed doors. A new documentary on Putin from German television claims Putin fears growing old and resorted to cosmetic surgery to appear youthful.
Rumors of a relationship between Kabaeva and Putin began to circulate in 2008 in the independent publication Moskovsky Korrespondent. The publication reported Putin divorced his wife Lyudmila to marry Kabaeva. The publication shut down shortly after it reported the rumors. Putin and Lyudmila announced their divorce in 2013 after 30 years of marriage. Kabaeva represented Putin's United Russia party in Parliament for six years before she stepped down in September 2014. She accepted a job "to run a major pro-Kremlin media group." The Guardian reports:
The National Media Group owns 25% of Channel One, Russia's main state-controlled television channel, and also owns stakes in other channels and newspapers, including a majority share of the influential Izvestia daily. The group is controlled by Yuri Kovalchuk, a longstanding friend of Putin who was sanctioned by the US earlier this year due to his closeness to the Russian president.
Since the rumors of their romance surfaced, others have claimed the two secretly married and Kabaeva already gave birth to two of Putin's children. Blick mentioned this new baby could be the third for them after she gave birth to a son named Dmitri in 2009 and a daughter in 2012.
Of course, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied the baby talk.
"Information that a child has been born to Vladimir Putin is not true," claimed Peskov. "I am planning to appeal to people who have money to organise a competition for the best journalistic hoax."

5 Steps to Effective Cyber Security
This vendor-written piece has been edited by Executive Networks Media to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favour the submitter's approach.
In today's hyper-connected network economy, cyber security is a top-of-mind boardroom discussion topic. Information is the new sinews of war. Your customer information, of course, but also your own financial and strategic plans, your employees' and contractors' personal data, and so on. An attack on this data (either for leakage, manipulation, ransom or other malicious intent) could seriously endanger your relationships and trust with these important parties. It could also lead to business disruptions and loss of market share, not to mention potentially hefty fines.
Nevertheless, some businesses have taken this adage somewhat too strictly and decided to protect all their data. Not only does this have a cost, but since they most likely have limited resources, it means they could be running scarce on protecting their real crown jewels.
In this short post, I don't intend to give you a complete process for attaining a 100 percent cyber-secure company, but I'll try to share a few thoughts on what path you can follow to at least get started.
1. Rate and Rank Your Information
As I mentioned, not all information is critical or confidential. In order to prioritise your data protection needs, try first of all to rate the criticality of the information should it be accessed without your consent and then rank it.
Keep in mind that more information will be created every day, so institute a good information classification system ranging from "Public" to "Confidential" that is understood and applied consistently across the organisation. This will help you keep this ranking constantly up-to-date and therefore reduce ongoing efforts of identifying critical information.
2. Map Your Assets
Now that you know what data you must protect, you need to know where it sits. This might seem quite trivial, but according to the recent EY Global Information Security Survey 2015, "only 40 percent hold an accurate inventory of their ecosystem (i.e. all third-party providers, network connections and data)".
How can you really protect something if you don't know where it is and how it's being accessed? Map your assets and how they interact-this will give you a complete picture of the risk context.
3. Identify Your Vulnerabilities
Talking about risk context, identify the threats as you would for any other business risk. Applying a root cause approach is very relevant in this case as it will help you find the weakest link.
To understand the real exposure of each vulnerability, roll-up the risk chain and assess the business, strategic, and also operational impacts resulting from a data breach.

I was eagerly waiting for PM Najib's next tea time for his "online friends" since I missed the one held last March. When a statement came out that a dinner is being organised, I told myself that I won't miss it this time. Alas, it turned to a big time disappoinment as the dinner is being held on eve of Deepavali! Talk about being insensitive! Surely someone in his team should/could/would have advised that the Hindus have prayers, shopping, house cleaning, etc on the eve. Imagine if such dinner is held on eve of Chinese New Year or Hari Raya.
Maybe his team already surveyed and found out that not many of PM's "online friends" are Hindus, so the majority wins. We just have to console ourselves with this assumption.
Anyway, still doesn't seem to resonate with his 1Malaysia calling. Sounds like done in bad taste and puts all the good work earlier in the shade. It just takes one small wrong move to undo all the earlier good work. Remember, its how you take care of the minority and the poor that shows your human values.
Hopefully some common sense kicks in and the event can be postponed to a more suitable date. After all, this is not some political party function where newspaper vendors are blamed for not delivering newspapers.
As for me, still thinking how to attend without incurring the wrath of Then.
The excerpt article:
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will host a special dinner for his online friends at Seri Perdana, Putrajaya on Nov 4.
He said the dinner function scheduled to start at 8pm, was organised following the success of the tea party he hosted in March for his online friends to get to know them and have a dialogue with them.
"Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of hosting a special event for my online friends, and I had stated that there would be more of such events to come.
"I am happy to announce the next event, which will take place on the evening of 4th November, details of which can be found here. Registration for an invitation is now open, and I encourage you to sign up and be a part of the event," he said in his blog, www.1Malaysia.com.my, on Wednesday.
Najib said he thoroughly enjoyed the last event and hoped they would have the same open and sincere dialogue at the upcoming one.
"The beauty of this event is that it enables me to connect with Malaysians of all backgrounds, particularly because my guests are randomly selected from the registrants," he said.

Myoclonus may be caused by a variety of different problems. In fact, in most cases the cause concludes the treatment.
Physiological Myoclonus: This type of myoclonus does not require treatment and includes recurrent hiccups, shakes due to exercise or anxiety or infant muscle twitching.
Essential Myoclonus: These occur without any symptom and without being related to any illness and in some cases are genetic or hereditary.
Epileptic Myoclonus: This type of myoclonus occurs as part of an epileptic disorder and muscle jerk might be a sign.
Symptomatic Myoclonus: This is a common form and occurs as a result of muscle jerks like head injuries, spinal cord injuries, infection, kidney failure, liver failure, fatal drug poisoning, oxygen deficiency, medication reaction, lipid storage disease, inflammatory conditions and metabolic disorders.
Patients suffering from myoclonus, commonly feel symptoms like jerks or shakes that are sudden, brief, involuntary, shocking, variable in frequency, localized and sometimes severe.
Several tests can help identify the cause and diagnose of myoclonus. After the initial examination, the medical expert may prescribe an electroencephalography (EEG) test to record electrical activity of brain, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine structural problems, electromyogram (EMG) to measure electrical impulses of muscles and laboratory tests to detect diabetes, metabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases, kidney disease and liver disease.
The treatment for myoclonus depends on the cause of the disorder. Medications like sedatives, tranquilizers or anti-convulsant drugs help reduce the intensity of the disease in children with epilepsy. Clonazepam, Valproic Acid, Lamotrigine, Levetiracetam, Zonisamide and Topiramate are commonly used tranquilizers. Sedatives like Barbiturates decrease the central nervous system activity and helps reduce seizures.
Tumors that cause myoclonic activity must be removed through surgery. In some cases it is treated with radiation and chemotherapy.
Though medications reduce the symptoms of the disease, many side effects like dizziness, sleepiness, unsteadiness and fatigue are commonly encountered. Although it is not a life-threatening condition, in some serious cases it can leave behind debilitating impairments for life.
It is not possible to prevent myoclonus, but you can take precautions to reduce the intensity by protecting yourself against brain injuries by wearing headgear during activities like riding a bike or working at accident-prone sites.
The treatment cost includes medical expert fee, medications and testing fees. In some cases, there may be a need of hospital services as patients would be required to be admitted for surgery or treatment.

Dean Devlin returns to features, as Deadline.com exclusively reveals!
Devlin returns to the global destruction sandbox he played in when he and then-partner Roland Emmerich sold their Independence Day spec for millions, a guaranteed Fox green light and release date, and a global gross north of $800 million. They continued the destruction with Godzilla. While Emmerich continued crushing the planet with The Day After and 2012 (he and Devlin are working on two Independence Day sequels), Devlin formed Electric Entertainment and has put together movies (one was Flyboys, which featured avid aviator Ellison onscreen), and the Noah Wyle telepic series The Librarian. Devlin is currently exec producer of the TNT series Leverage. Guyot, Devlin's co-writer on the spec, is supervising producer of that series.
Neither Devlin nor Ellison would reveal how this picture will destroy the world, but they confirmed the deal, with Ellison calling Devlin "a premier creator of original event entertainment. I'm thrilled to be working with him on his directorial debut, as this project is perfect for both of our sensibilities."
Per Devlin: "Since meeting David, I have admired and respected his creative work an am excited for the opportunity to collaborate with him on this upcoming project. This film is very important to me and I'm so grateful for the chance to make this with people I know and consider friends."

The world of fashion is always evolving and coming up with new trends, but there have been times that these so called new trends are downright ridiculous. These items will seriously only be marketed to an extremely small group of people. In this list you will find fashion items that are just plain odd to others that you will feel the designer has lost their mind. Enjoy looking through this crazy list of 10 Of The Oddest Fashion Items Ever:
1. Mixed Match Pants: These tight stretchy pants are available in two separate colors within the same pair just think about Two-Faced from the Batman series. Why would anyone want to be dressed as a clown on a daily basis?
2. Armadillo Purse: I am an animal lover, but seriously a full size armadillo purse? Good thing I guess is that the purse isn't made from real armadillos.
3. Hamburger Dress: This dress is absolutely ridiculous, I mean we all like hamburgers, but that doesn't mean we all need to wear them. This little dress was designed by Joy Kampia O'Shell.
4. Nacho Wallet: It's kind of cute in the weirdest way. The tortilla shell actually looks very real to the point that you might want to take a bit of it.
5. Mink Jawbone Earrings: This is absolutely disgusting, especially since minks have been tortured and killed for their fur and now people want their jaws?
6. Banana Shoes: These are handmade and ready to for you to do the split. Ha, yes that was my attempt to make a joke. The banana shoes are made by a freelance designer and only go with nothing really.
7. Bacon Shoes: People are in love with bacon and I get it, but wearing bacon shoes is taking the love on a whole other level. I guess it isn't too bad since they have gum and cake flavored bacon.
8. Corn Dog Flavored Lip Balm: If you want to take the carnival on the go with you 24/7 then this is the best way to do so. All you have to do is apply to your lips as many times as you want then lick it up whenever you desire.
9. Fire Hose Belt: I know some women are totally in love with firemen, but has the love turned into a weird fetish? Now you can wrap around your waist that oh so famous fire hose from your fantasy.
10. French Fry Coin Purse: This little coin purse looks like one of the talking French fries from an old McDonalds commercial. The coin purse is also big enough to store some credit cards as well.
These so called fashion items are far from being fashionable. Some might even be neat enough to own as a funky accessory but not as a fashion statement.

By: Mommy Blogger Ruthie Cody
Another lesser-known horror-comedy-drama with a similar title to a famous movie. Babies on a Plane, unlike Snakes on a Plane, has far fewer bad words because as a responsible parent, you have to keep things G-rated for your kid - even if what goes through your head might sound a lot more like Samuel L. Jackson.
I have flown with my one-year old son and husband five times. In fact, and as I write this, we are packing for another flight this weekend. I've been fortunate to always have my husband with me when we fly, so I can't take all the credit for how smoothly it has gone for us most of the time. My son has also always been a good eater, so nursing him or preoccupying him with snacks has worked well too.
A few tips for flying based on your proximity to the plane:
Booking your ticket
- When booking your ticket, if you can help it, plan the flight time around when your baby might be napping, sleeping, or some other activity that calms them (for us, it's meal time!)
- After you book your flight, call the airline and have them walk you through the process of adding Infant in Arms to your boarding pass. We learned the hard way that some planes only have the extra oxygen mask on the right side of the plane, and our seats were on the left. They had to go through a long process to switch our seats and add Infant in Arms to the boarding pass. We almost missed our flight!
Arriving at the airport and getting through security
- Get there early. If you have a baby who you will be holding the entire flight, chances are you will need to get the phrase "Infant in Arms" added to your boarding pass, and you might have to wait in line at the airline counters to do that. Another benefit of being early is not needing to rush with bags + baby + passports + stroller/car seat/etc. And risk the chance of dropping something along the way.
- Avoid wearing belts and heavy jewelry, or shoes that are hard to take on and off. Security can be a pain when you have to take your shoes, scarf, jewelry, and belt off. Try doing it while holding a squirming toddler. Yeah, not happening. I don't advocate people dressing in pajamas when they fly, but try to find a presentable travel outfit that is also easy to get through security with.
Waiting to board
- Exercise your baby! If you get to the airport early enough, you should have a good chunk of time to let your child run around, especially if they are already walking. The best babies on planes are the ones who sleep through the whole ride, so the more tired you can get them before, the better. My son's favorite thing to do is to run up to strangers who are waiting for the flight, stare at them, and run away. It's kind of weird, but most people are good-natured about it, and it will help them on the flight because my kid will probably be worn out.
- Gate-check things you won't need on the flight. Every airline we have flown is always happy to gate-check items for us because it frees up cabin space. It also is less for you to fumble with when you are getting in your seat. Every airline we have flown has also allowed us to check strollers and car seats free of charge.
- Usually, people with small children have priority boarding. Take advantage of this.
- If you are boarding early, get to know the flight attendant and let them take your kid for a walk if they are so inclined. On our most recent flight, we told our flight attendant that she was more than welcome to take our son and walk him around at anytime. She was so kind and even picked him up once when he was getting restless in our seats. He loved being able to go up and down the aisle and see the other passengers.
- Nurse your nursing baby, or give a bottle/snacks to an older baby. This will avoid any discomfort they might feel with the change in altitude as the plane ascends.
- If your child is a little older, let them look out the window so they can see what is happening, our son loved that (warning: this could backfire if it scares them)
Mid-flight and landing
- Use any routines or cues that might initiate sleeping. For our son, it's reading books.
- If sleeping is not an option, then break out the good snacks. They will associate flying with yummy things and maybe be on better behavior for it!
- When the seatbelt sign is off, let them stand in the aisle for a few minutes at a time (until someone needs to pass them) to let them stretch their legs and get a different view.
- Unless you have a connecting flight or are in a hurry, wait to let everyone else off the plane first. Watching people get their bags and walk by is entertainment for kids. It also lets you gather your things without feeling rushed by the people around you, and if you de-board early, you will need to wait around for the gate-checked items anyway
Always remember, flights don't last forever, so even if it gets bad, it's temporary! It might even make for a funny story in the future. Happy flying!

Oklahoma Attorney General asks for President Trump to pardon former Oklahoma soldier
Oklahoma's Atorney General has issued a letter asking for the pardon of a former Oklahoma soldier convicted of killing a man with suspected Al Qaeda ties in 2009.
Attorney General Mike Hunter has asked President Trump to pardon former U.S. Army 1st Lt. Michael Behenna. Behenna was convicted of unpremeditated murder in a combat zone following the killing of a man with suspected Al Qaeda ties while searching for those responsible for killing two men in his unit.
Behenna, an Edmond native, served five years of his 15-year sentence before being paroled in 2014.
"Michael Behenna was a courageous soldier, a great leader and does not deserve to be labeled a convicted felon for the rest of his life," Hunter said. "He has more than paid for the crimes he was convicted of while bravely serving our country in combat. He and his family have gone through enough. I encourage President Trump to act quickly and compassionately by pardoning Behenna, to give him back the freedoms he deserves."
Hunter's letter points out that errors were made during the original court-martial that negatively impacted Behenna's self defense argument.
"Does this situation – with incorrect jury instructions on a key issue and unlawfully withheld evidence – really display the type of justice we believe is appropriate for an otherwise outstanding soldier, who was attempting to protect his country and fellow soldiers from terror attacks?" Hunter said.

At Happy Day Farms, we have identified some pairings that work well with cannabis, some that do not. Beans tend to die from spider mites, which are naturally occurring in most climates. Squash and melons succumb to powdery mildew and so are also not good pairings for cannabis.
We have great success with all manner of greens, from kales, collards and chois to lettuces, mustards, arugulas etc. Any leafy greens that grow quickly can be worked into your cannabis rotations. We do our spring prep and then plant everything with greens except for small spaces where we will plant the cannabis plants. We harvest greens closest to cannabis first, expanding outward and making maximal use of space.
As we make the transition into late summer, we've moved away from the traditional mocha bat guano (and all guanos because of harvest methods and unsustainable practices). We row-crop, with cannabis plants on 15-20 ft spacings, which means that there are gaps in between the plants, which we crop with greens in the spring.
When the spring greens come out, we prep in between the plants and re-plant with summer hot crops like peppers. We find that the cannabis plants maintain a deep, vigorous green as their roots continue out into freshly-prepped soil. Avoiding compaction around your plants is crucial because your roots want to travel out with as little resistance as possible. The roots of cannabis plants are capable of travelling a very long way given the opportunity.

QFM's clubsport track pad is the A1RM! It is ideal for high performance street cars that take to the track to test the limits, whilst still streetable. The A1RM is ideal for club level rally and hill climb where brakes are required right from the first corner!
Cold Friction - High Friction - Temperature (C)
0.40 - 0.48 - 0-780
What others have to say about the A1RM!
"Well I've just got back from Oz where I spent 2000km's driving on a new set of A1RM pads from gslrallysport.
These are an excellent road-track day pad and a good compromise for those that want one pad to everything!!!
IMHO these are excellent, very cheap (mine were about $120 for the fronts IIRC) and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
If you want a new set of sport pads these are the pad to get!"
"I have recently fitted a set of QFM A1RM racing compound pads. IMHO these pads are an awesome product for around town and also track days!
Best of all there is far less brake dust than my previous performance pads."
"I've just installed some new slotted/dimpled rotors front+rear along with some a1rm pads fronts+rears. The braking performance is great. I've used them on the track and i use them on the road at the moment and they are sweet! Now my braking performance is awesome.
Brake dust is heaps less than what my previous performance pads use to make as well... "
"I've been very happy with my QFM's on the track, done a few days on them and still going good and I'll be getting them again!"
"My front Qfm's lasted 4 track days and nearly 12 months of daily duties. I went with same pad again!"
"I hit the A1RM pads HARD at Winton. (I also replaced the fluid with Penrite SIN synthetic).
These pads are really good. I had zero brake fade on the stock calipers. I actually wasn't expecting much.
They remained tight and still usable even after the hardest laps!
Cant recommend them enough!"

These iridescent, lustrous slingback beauties by Rebecca Minkoff jumped out at me and begged me to take them home, and who am I to say no?

The National Immigrant Justice Center, an organization pushing immigration reform, posted on Twitter that Fusion built a "Twitter bot that corrects people who say 'illegal immigrant'" on Tuesday.
In a link posted with the message on Twitter, writers Patrick Hogan and Jorge Rivas explained how the terms "illegal immigrant" or "illegal alien" are offensive to people "living in the United States without proper authorization."
"In 2015, everyone from President Obama to actress Natalie Portman has gotten used to saying "undocumented immigrant" or "unauthorized immigrant" instead of the outdated and offensive phrase "illegal immigrant." Publications like the Los Angeles Times and The Associated Press have asked their writers to not use the term "illegal immigrant" unless it is part of a quote. The Supreme Court has also opted for terms like "unauthorized aliens" and "unauthorized workers" because legal experts say that "illegal immigrant" is just not accurate," argued Hogan and Rivas.
"So, in a modest effort to help America shed some of its historical baggage, we built a Twitter bot that replies to some of the people who tweet the words "illegal immigrant," letting them know that in 2015, the preferred terms are "undocumented immigrant" or "unauthorized immigrant." To avoid spamming people, the bot only runs once every ten minutes, and it never replies to the same user twice," the two stated.
According to the post, the Twitter bot has been running for several days and generated roughly 400 responses.
For the most part, Twitter users did not find it helpful.
Genius- We built Twitter bot that corrects people who say 'illegal immigrant' http://t.co/4ZRY8zTIjK via @thisisfusion @thisisjorge @phogan

|[jira] Commented: (AMQ-1625) Producers hang when broker is fubar
|Mon, 22 Dec 2008 13:23:05 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1625?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=48305#action_48305 ] Gary Tully commented on AMQ-1625: --------------------------------- This looks like a case of 'slow consumer' and producer flowcontrol. You can fail producers, block them or spool to disk. The default out of the box 5.2 behavior is to use producer flow control and stall/block the producer. The SystemUsage.setSendFailIfNoSpace attribute can force a failure and configuring a memory limit for message spooling can ensure memory limits are not exceeded. In your test case, it is 10 threads sharing a connection rather than a session, correct?. A session should be reserved for a single thread. I am wondering if this issue can be closed or if you want an additional facility to enable fail with timeout when producer flow control is configured. > Producers hang when broker is fubar > ----------------------------------- > > Key: AMQ-1625 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1625 > Project: ActiveMQ > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 5.1.0 > Environment: SNAPSHOT build from 1/16/08 > Reporter: peter royal > Fix For: 5.3.0 > > Attachments: hung producers.log > > > see attached log. > in a nutshell, > Transport.request(Object command) is dangerous, and shouldn't be used. > Transport.request(Object command, int timeout) should be used instead. > something happened to my broker (don't know what yet), and it caused the producer to hang as seen. then since the session is shared, a bunch of other threads blocked as well. if the request on the transport had a timeout (this is to catch failure scenarios, so something that's not expected to reasonably happen), things would have errored out rather than building waiting threads. > if it is amiable, i can produce a patch that will remove the non-timeout'd version of Transport.request() and use the version with a timeout everywhere. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

A lot of people own domesticated animals including dogs and cats. And while these animals are fine for some people, others want something more. More specifically, some pet owners strive to own exotic animals. Exotic animals are unique and can really bring something different to the table for those individuals. Let's take a look at the top 10 wild animals you can own.
10. Sugar Glider
These pets are very popular in the Northeastern part of Australia. While they weight no more than six ounces, they can bond very easily with humans. Unfortunately, most sugar gliders are both nocturnal and social meaning, you'll need to give them attention at night. For that reason, you should keep two sugar gliders together so that you can get sleep during the night. In terms of environment, sugar gliders love enclosures which contain vines or branches- it will satisfy their desire to climb.
9. Kinkajou
This nocturnal animal derives from the rainforest and is an affectionate mammal that gets alone great with humans. Because of this, exotic-pet owners love them. Kinkajou's love mangoes, eggs, bananas, and even marshmallows. Do note that they have carnivorous teeth that are quite sharp and that contain a bit loaded with bacteria. However, they will only use this if they feel threatened or afraid.
8. Squirrel Monkey
Coming all the way from South and Central America, the squirrel monkey can be a fun exotic pet. They are omnivorous, which means that they eat both meat and plants, and they get along great with people. Most of them weigh less than four pounds, which is one reason why they stick together in the wild, often in groups of 500 squirrel monkeys or more. Of all primates, they have the largest brains and they are actually quite intelligent.
7. Bengal Cat
Don't worry because this exotic animal does not have any relation to the dangerous Bengal Tiger. The Bengal Cat is more of a crossbreed between several more exotic animals and they are actually quite mellow. But sometimes they can be out of control and have been known to tear up furniture. Despite this minor flaw, they are quite loving and very loyal. In 1998, a Bengal Cat was sold for $42,000 at a public auction.
6. Ball Python
There are two kinds of people: those who love snakes and those who don't. For those who do love snakes, owning a Ball Python can be a lot of fun. They are comprised of exotic colors and come in rare variations that are very visually appealing. If you were to own a Ball Python, they would probably be around 5-foot long. The best way to take care of them is to place them in a 30-gallon take and feed them dead rodents like mice and rats.
5. Mona Monkey
The Mona Monkey is from West Africa and weighs about 15 pounds. These pets can live well into their early 20's, which is one reason why they make for great exotic pets. Like any monkey, they love to climb on things. It is suggested that you built a private enclosure specifically designed for climbing if you plan on owning the Mona Monkey. Their diet is fairly simple and consists mainly of insects and fruits.
4. Hyacinth Macaw
While the Hyacinth Macaw can't roller-skate or dance, they still make great pets. Most weigh about five pounds and they happen to be the largest species of Parrots in the world. Their wingspan is about is about four-feet and their beaks are so strong that some have been known to break apart cages. Most of these birds will outlive their owners so lifespan is the least you need to worry about when purchasing one. Their diets are relatively straightforward and they don't require a lot of maintenance.
3. Reticulated Python
This species of snake happen to be one of the largest in the animal kingdom. However, this hasn't stopped thousands of people from owning one as a pet. It is recommended that you purchase a large tank to raise them in. Adults don't need to eat very often, probably once every two weeks or so. And when they do eat, be sure to feed them rats, rabbits, and even mice that have already been killed. With Pythons, it is always a good idea to stay vigilant because some owners have been killed by their pets.
2. White Lion
The White Lion is one of the most expensive animals to purchase and maintain, according to Forbes. This animal can easily grow up to 500 pounds as it gets older, which can make it quite dangerous to own. It is recommended that you don't keep them around other pets like puppies for example, because they carry a recessive gene that will cause them to see them as prey. And despite being considered a "wild" animal, White Lions can be relatively loyal.
1. Chimpanzee
Chimpanzees share the most DNA with human beings than any other species on the planet. They are incredibly smart and show remarkable similarity with people. A lot of exotic pet owners love owning them for these reasons. There have been Chimps that became unmanageable or problematic- some have even attacked their owners. However, they can be house-trained and most are smart enough to learn things quickly. And if they can't outwit you, they'll figure out things by force.

10 Reasons Not to Buy Laptop Parts
10 Reasons to Use
Fix My Laptop.
1. Diagnostic Responsibility. If you buy the parts you assume the responsibility for the diagnosis. Regardless of how good you are, you can't always be right. I spoke recently to a repairer who had a Compaq laptop with a "punched in" screen. He ordered in a new LCD for it and when it arrived on disassembly he found burnt contacts on the LCD cable. He ordered in a cable. Then he found that the backlight did not work so he then ordered in a LCD inverter. When this arrived he fitted it only to find out perhaps why the owner had punched the screen in the first place, he had a motherboard problem. The moral of the story .... Let Fix My Laptop diagnose the fault at their cost and time. Outsource the frustration. Many parts cannot be returned, so you could finish up with a part-time Ebay business selling the parts you bought and don't need.
2. Prices. We scour the world for competitive prices on the parts we use in our jobs to ensure we remain competitive. For example if you have ever tried to purchase a replacement LCD screen from HP, Toshiba, Sony etc you will know that the prices they charge are very expensive. I recently rang Sony to get a price on a 16" LCD screen for a Vaio notebook. The price was $1280. In response to the need to have new screens at affordable prices - Fix My Laptop have been importing from Singapore, USA and Taiwan for a while now. We have in stock the most common screens; 14.1" widescreens, 15.6" and 16" LED screens, 15.4" widescreens and 17" widescreens. We also have smaller sizes as well such as 12" and 13.3". We carry all netbook screens from 7" to 10.2". If you need a screen replacement for a damaged laptop we can do it quickly and competitively. The same applies to all other parts, lids, hinges, bases, inverters, keyboards, etc.
3. Speed. With our huge inventory of laptop parts we can get the job done very fast. Its common for us to complete a job in 1-2 days. We can only do this because we have invested heavily in our inventory of spare parts. We also have accounts with all major laptop Manufacturers parts departments, so we can quickly order new parts needed for a job.
4. Warranty. We offer full 90 day warranty on all parts and labour. This is the same warranty offered by Dell, HP, Toshiba, Acer, Asus and other major manufacturers. We stand by what we do and do not muck around with our customers when a warranty claim comes into play. We do advance replacements of generic parts (screens, hard drives, ram, optical drives) and lodge RA's for parts that must be returned to the Manufacturer.
5. Connections. We have spare parts accounts will all major Manufacturers and many of the smaller ones such as Clevo, BenQ, Midion (Aldi), Pioneer, etc. We know where to source hard to get parts and how to keep costs to a minimum. We have contacts in USA, Singapore, Taiwan, and UK. We can get those hard to get new and used parts.
6. Experience. We know the issues with the various makes and models; we know what to do and not do with repairs to certain models; for example we know about the Inspiron 6000 LCD tube problems, the Fujitsu LCD screens with bios recognition and error messages, Dell D420 laptop 1.8" hard drives, etc etc. Our motto is Any Brand! Any Problem! ® and we try to live up to it.
7. Sanity. Face the reality that a busy mobile or retail IT person can't do everything! When I was a mobile technician I'd be out on the road all day and bring units home at night to repair and upgrade. My wife would say "See that man, kids? He's your father!!" All work and no play/family time/etc makes for domestic drama.
8. Productivity. If you have a good customer base requiring desktop and laptop reformats, ram upgrades, hard drive replacements, virus removals, etc, you can make good money on them if you can get through them efficiently. The last thing you want is a complex laptop with a difficult to resolve hardware problem to suck you into the vortex of an attempted repair, if you offload the hard ones to Fix My Laptop you can stay productive.
9. Cash Flow. When you buy parts you have to pay for them up-front. It can takes days or weeks until the job is done and you get paid. Your cash is tied up in the job while you wait for parts to arrive, be fitted, etc. Not so with us. When you pay Fix My Laptop you can be minutes from payment with your customer.
10. Credibility and Respect. You can win or maintain the respect of your customers by offering "full range support" of all their computers. You will loose credibility if your customer says "By the way can you fix my salesmans' laptop with broken lid hinges?" and you say "Sorry mate, never touch laptops, I just do desktops". Your customer may not be impressed as now 55% of all new computers sold are laptops. Better to say "Sure mate, I can have that fixed in 2-3 days at a very good price!!".
For these reasons we recommend you do not buy parts. We have made the business decision to not sell parts either wholesale or retail. If you need parts we have we'll quote you on a fitted price with a discount. Request a quote here!

As a visitor to Thailand for 25 years, you could say i know the place pretty well, but still learning every day.
As a really fed up uk family we decided to take the plunge and go for it and sell up in the uk and invest in this wonderful part of the world, and having two young boys too, non of us have regretted one minute of leaving the uk.
Our goals are to create the perfect holiday villas for clients to visit and return.
mike wilkinson purchased this villa in 2010
As an existing investor on the development, we saw this fantastic opportunity to be able to purchase a piece of land with usage of a unique Island, and create our own purpose built holiday villa.
After renting here for a couple of years and also living in Thailand, we know what our clients look for.
Check our reviews on our villa advert property 847526 and read what the customers say.
This property from others on the development is located in a quiet spot along the beach away from the clubhouse and communal pool.
Location plays a large part, and this villa has access to all amenities without a long trek.
My sister, daughter and I could not have asked for a lovelier place to relax at the beach. The Villa is comfortable, and spacious. The beach is literally a walk out the front doors. It is equipped with everything you need in the kitchen and every room has its own air conditioning unit. Buying food is not difficult but does require some planning. There are several grocery stores in White Sands (Tesco, Big C and Marko). You can take a taxi. The reception fest at the resort is more than happy to call one for you. For quick items there is a 7-11 in the "village" and the resort shuttle will take you. The owner of the Villa and his staff were very helpful and responded to all of our questions promptly. We were thrilled with the Villa and would love to return! The beach is quiet and a perfect place to read, snooze and restore.
My friend and I and our three teen daughters spent five days in this villa. Everything was fantastic. We were greeted and showed around the house by a representative of the owner and also given a map of the complex and lots of information and then left to enjoy. The view was breathtaking it really is right on the beach. The villa comes with a three person kayak which you can use when ever you want and the bay is perfect for it. The house was tidy, well appointed and had everything you need from bath and beach towels, a fully equipped kitchen. Each room has its own bathroom too. The complex itself is so great. Two gorgeous pools and we are in one of the restaurants and the food there was excellent too. We will absolutely be back again soon.
We had a superb time at Elegant horizons, this truly is a superb villa with all amenities for the family holidaymaker. We had a smooth booking through Mike the owner, and were checked in on time and offered further services from his agent. Fab lounge with awesome views over the garden and bay. Four poster master bedroom facing the bay.
We had evening barbeques most of our stay, but the clubhouse is great for food also.
There is a free shuttle bus to the local village from the resort, and its only 10 mins to white sands for evening entertainment. RECOMMENDED
This Villa has been my home on the idyllic island of Koh Chang, each of the three times I have ventured to Thailand. I fell in love during my first stay at Elegant Horizons 5 years ago.
The Villa is equipped with a beautiful open plan kitchen-dining room from which you can chillax and watch the most picturesque sunset.
All the villa's amenities are strikinly modern and stylish.
My Favorite thing is to wake-up when ever you see fit and wonder 20m to the biggest swimming pool the world has to offer and wake with a casual swim down the beach front and grab some breakfast down the clubhouse.
Undoubted the best beach by a mile on the island
The owner Mike is very helpful and has a good sense of humor if you get to meet him. Always very amenable and recommended a great restaurant called The Souk where the chefs special Mafia Chicken has to be tried though not for the fainthearted another great find was Buddha View a resteraunt with a difference down the pier in Bang Bao
We were really lucky to have found the perfect location to spend our Christmas vacation. Elegant Horizons is an absolutely fabulous villa located on a beautiful stretch of the beach which is blessed with sunshine throughout the day and a fantastic view of the sunset. The villa is very well furnished, equipped with everything you need for a great holiday and well maintained - it even comes with a cold water chiller and refills to last throughout your holiday which is a bonus given the high temperatures. The villa itself exceeded our expectations and was our little piece of paradise for a couple of weeks. Mike and Sheryl the owners were extremely helpful and promptly answered all our questions prior to booking and our arrival in Koh Chang. They even assisted us in arranging our airport collection/ drop-off which worked wonderfully. Check-in at the villa was first-class and we found all the staff to be extremely polite and helpful. We ate at the Club House most evenings and were treated like royalty - the staff even took the time to teach us a few Thai words. There is a good choice of both international and local food available at very reasonable prices at the Club House where you can also arrange a takeaway service if you wish to eat in your villa. We visited White Sands on a couple of occasions (approx £10 each way by taxi) where you can find a good choice and restaurants and some supermarkets to stock up on supplies. We fed the monkeys in White Sands and went elephant trekking. We had an exceptionally wonderful holiday and were really sad to leave. We would definitely recommend Elegant Horizons as a great place to stay and we sincerely hope to return again in the future.
Elegant Horizons offer exclusive self catering accommodation on the Siam-Royal-View Resort on the marine national park island of Koh Chang, situated in the province of Trat.

Koh Chang is one of Thailand's most sought after holiday destinations and you will want to return again and again.
